UNIVERSAL PLUG-INS
Starting in HP Web Jetadmin 10.3 SR4, a Universal Plug-in (UPI) was introduced to represent a class
of devices, hoping to make it easier to create configuration templates by narrowing down the
configuration items by class rather than by device.
Advantages of the Universal Plug-in include:
• Standard qualified implementations result in less development and test time
• Easier to create configuration templates by device class
• The ability to support many devices without a discreet plug-in
• No need to upgrade Web Jetadmin to evaluate a new device for same features as those the
device replaces
• The Capabilities tab now displays options that are installed on each device versus options the
device is capable of having installed, improving accuracy of installed options
Naturally, the UPI needs to be updated to add any new features added to specific models. Therefore,
Web Jetadmin would still need to be upgraded in order to take advantage of new features introduced
by devices.
Since one universal plug-in now represents a class of devices, only one image can be defined in each
plug-in. Therefore, a generic image is used to represent each class of devices that will not necessarily
exactly match the device picture itself.
The following UPIs are found in the Create Device Configuration Template wizard. The HP products
that the UPIs support are not listed individually in the Create Device Configuration Template wizard.
